Progress on the wall and more exciting news!

Jack Williams sent this message today:

"The crew got the wall up to 7'4" today on the front 120 feet of the wall, and started more on the left side. More concrete came today, so the crew can continue tomorrow. The volunteers from the states (masons and general contractors) are a wonderful bunch of guys that are really pouring their hearts into this project.

Another part of the good news for the orphanage. This morning early, a group showed up from the Brazilian Embassy with a truck load of tents and mattresses for the children. There were about ten men with the two embassy people who were from the Brazilian Navy who spent most of the day putting up the tents (ten of them). They said they also brought a lot of food, but I didn't see what they brought.
We've had the normal logistical problems that you know well from all developing countries, but we've done marvelous considering."

Stories from Haiti

Welcome to the FFCIN.org blog! The entries that you seeto the right are my recollections of my experiences in Haiti. I will try to write in chronological order but don't guarantee this. I am going to write stories as they come to me.

Mixed in, I may write my opinions about certain issues orjust my random, wandering thoughts. I hope that you will enjoy some of my stories and return often.
